Redhawk Caldera [joining] smoke and mirrors

Pantaleimon waited silently. Even though it was terrifying, she had no choice but to put her fate in the paws of this wolf she had met once. Pan was not entirely sure what it was that had drawn her back here, but it was something; and not just the thought of a roof above her head. If that was what she was going for, perhaps she would have gone with Reek and Wynter, so that she would have at least been able to hunt more safely. It was something else, but not something Pantaleimon could quite place.

When the words came through, when Peregrine said he'd have Pan, Pantaleimon let out a breath of relief; only then did she realise she had been holding her breath all this time.

Peregrine started to throw names at Pantaleimon, and at each name she nodded while she tried to remember - Fox, Alpha Female, Finley and Elwood, Betas. It was all a bit difficult for Pan, for she was used to much different structures of command, but she would cope; she would learn. Pantaleimon idly wondered if Fox was Peregrine's mate; she vaguely remembered he had a family, she thought he had said so anyway, but was not beginning to doubt this since he did not mark any of the wolves he mentioned explicitely as his mate. Pan kept quiet about it, deciding time would teach her. She just nodded each time something was asked of her and each time a name was mentioned. The Gamekeeper trade -- that sounded like something Pantaleimon could do.

As Peregrine said they would get something to eat and motioned to follow, Pantaleimon swiftly followed. She kept her body low, feeling awkward and not sure how to behave, but decided to try and behave as she would have around Spyridon, another male who had been above her in rank, sort of like an Alpha male, but yet different in so many ways. "Uhm," Pan said with a raspy voice while she tried to remember, "A couple of d-days." Pantaleimon had hunted with another wolf a week or maybe a bit longer ago, and that's when her fear had begun to grow because she had been kicked by a deer, even if it hadn't been a mortal injury. But it had made her fear for such. After that day, she had returned to the carcass to eat the remains and she'd caught a rabbit since then, but not much more than that.
